Hope for Today: Devotions for Depression & AnxietySample

Confident Help

There are some situations that are completely out of our control. We cannot dictate the outcomes, and it sometimes seems that whatever we try to do to help only intensifies the issues. What then should we do? We don’t need to be in control to be at peace. God is our help in every single circumstance.

God cannot be confused or confounded. Your troubles are not too complex for him to handle. In his perfect wisdom, he always knows exactly what to do. Will you trust him to do what you can’t? Will you relent your need to fix and let him be your help? He is more than capable in this, and every, situation.

Lord, you are my willing help in every hour of need. You never withdraw your presence, leaving me to figure things out on my own. I surrender my need to control and let you take the reins. You are always faithful. My confidence lies in you.
